So like I know certain things can’t be cooked on electric, but like I watch YouTube cooking videos and the guys with electric stoves just use like a small propane burner thing that goes on the kitchen counter to use like a wok or Moka Pot. I don’t know when people need 4 gas burners specifically, and I don’t think gas/electric matters for oven…. So shouldn’t that just be the end of the debate.
Like just buy one of the little gas stove things for those specific recipes, and then you won’t get cancer…..
Burning fossil fuels to cook isn't good. Are there more important things to worry about when it comes to energy consumption? Obviously. Should we continue to burn gas in our homes to cook food forever? Definitely not.
:yes:
Tell me more about the #1 source of greenhouse emissions and energy usage: the 20 minute a day I'm cooking something using a nickels worth of gas
It's almost like you didn't read my comment. The amount of attention this is getting is a joke, because you're right, the amount of emissions from people cooking is no where near our biggest problem.
But at the end of the day we need to stop pumping gas to people's houses entirely at some point.
The problem isn't using a nickels worth of gas to cook, it's piping that gas out to every home in suburbia with pipes that inevitably leak. Something like 10% of residential gas usage is just leaks.
ackshually it's better for the environment to burn gas for heat than it is to burn it to generate electricity and then use the electricity for heat.
maybe if we had some kind of central planning we could phase out gas stoves as renewables are deployed.
Heat pumps are more efficient than burning gas

Their argument also assumes that 100% non-renewable sources, which often isn’t the case. Anyone arguing that we should be burning natural gas in our homes is a simp for big oil.
cool maybe read my other sentence?
and what are we cooking with a heat pump?
Induction stoves for cooking, heat pumps for home heating and cooling
but what about your indoor environment
gas without proper ventilation (that nobody has) isnt good
